Here are some more details:

I was using Fedora Core 1.  I upgraded to Fedora Core
3 using the iso images I downloaded.  Upgraded, not
clean install.  Everything appears to work fine except
for X.

My laptop is a Compaq Presario 2100us.
Processor: Intel Celeron Processor - 1.6 GHz
Cache: 128 KB (L2)
Memory: 256 MB DDR SDRAM (1 x 256 MB) at 266 MHz
Video Graphics: ATI MOBILITY RADEON AGP 4X and 3D
architecture
Video Memory: 64 MB DDR SDRAM (shared)
Display: 14.1 inch XGA TFT (1024 x 768)

Thanks,
Jon
